Recipe

One page per recipe. The reader-facing sections are Description, Ingredients, and Instructions. Ingredient lines are written one per line as page title; quantity; unit; role; preparation. The page title can name an ingredient record or another Recipe, such as Simple syrup. Every title is an internal wiki link; a red link is valid while the target is being created. Only Ingredient records participate in nutrition and substitution calculations.
